Microgaming, through its staff-led CSR initiative PlayItForward, has donated £30,000 through its 2019 Gift of Giving campaign, bringing total donations to £210,000 since inception.

Gift of Giving is a seasonal voting scheme giving Microgaming operators and partners ‘the gift of giving’, by providing them with the opportunity to donate to worthy causes in their region.

In the 2019 campaign, Microgaming PlayItForward has donated a share of £30,000 between six global charities. The charities that received the highest number of votes in each region were Save the Children (United Kingdom), WaterAid (Africa), Foodbank Lifeline Foundation (Malta), Childline (Gibraltar), and Unicef (Rest of the World), with GamCare winning the vote in the inaugural responsible gambling category.

John Coleman, CEO of Microgaming, comments: “I’d like to thank all of our customers for their generous votes and for supporting our Gift of Giving initiative for the seventh year running. Involving the wider industry in CSR is important to us at Microgaming, which is why we included the new responsible gambling category – giving back is what we are all about. Well done to the winning charities in 2019’s campaign and we hope these donations will help you to keep doing what you do best. ”

Save the Children is a global movement that is active in over 100 countries. The organisation transforms millions of children’s lives and ensures their needs are met by keeping them healthy, protecting them from harm and providing them with an education. In the UK, it works with families to narrow the gap between children living in poverty and their better-off classmates. By focusing on early learning, it ensures children across the UK realise their full potential.

WaterAid works in 28 countries to help communities break free from poverty and change their lives for the better by working to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene available to everyone, everywhere. Since 1981, WaterAid has reached 27 million people with clean water and 27 million people with decent toilets.

Foodbank Lifeline Foundation was set up in 2015 to provide short-term emergency food provisions for individuals and families who find themselves in need.

Childline Gibraltar provide a Helpline service every day of the year, a 24 hour/365 day Appropriate Adult Scheme, Positive Parenting Courses and a local outreach programme aimed at helping children overcome and prevent a variety of issues both big and small.

With a presence in over 190 countries and territories, Unicef works to protect children worldwide, defend their rights, and help them fulfil their potential through fundraising, advocacy and education.

GamCare operates the National Gambling HelpLine, providing information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling problems. They provide a range of outreach, education and prevention initiatives working with young people and at-risk groups to minimise gambling-related harm.

Gift of Giving scheme has been supporting charities throughout the world since 2013. For more information on Microgaming PlayItForward, visit microgamingplayitforward.co.uk.

Childline Gibraltar’s Helpline services are available to children and young people every day of the year. It is a free, private and confidential service where you can talk about anything. In what is proving to be our busiest year to date, this very generous donation will enable us to continue to respond and to support the children who contact us.

Win Systems, a leading provider of technology for the gaming and entertainment industry, participated in ICE 2026, held in Barcelona from January 19 to 21. In this context, the company strengthened its positioning in the Spanish market, with a special focus on route operations as one of the strategic pillars of its technological offering.

In a market such as Spain, characterised by its own regulatory framework and highly specific operational requirements, Win Systems continues to develop solutions designed to help operators differentiate themselves and maximise the performance of their operations. In this regard, WIGOS ONE has established itself as a comprehensive and modular management platform, capable of adapting to different business models—including gaming halls, bingos, casinos, hospitality venues and route operations—and integrating with third-party systems, ensuring flexibility and regulatory compliance.

During ICE 2026, Win Systems placed special emphasis on two of its main differentiators for the Spanish market: Player Tracking and Win Pay. The Player Tracking solution enables operators to gain in-depth insight into player behavior and enhance loyalty through advanced tools such as jackpots and Happy Hour promotions, improving gaming experience and player engagement.

Meanwhile, Win Pay was presented as a strategic lever for the digitalization of payments in route operations and other environments, highlighting the new eTITO solution for kiosk payments without the need for paper tickets. This solution delivers a faster and more convenient payment experience for players, while providing operators with greater control and operational efficiency.

José Luis González, Sales Director for Spain at Win Systems, stated: “ICE 2026 has been a key opportunity to showcase how our solutions help Spanish operators stand out. With tools such as Player Tracking and Win Pay, we deliver real value in the areas that enable operators to compete more effectively, build player loyalty, and optimize operations in a market as specific as Spain.”

FA CHAI Card

FA CHAI Gaming Introduces Player Achievement System

Published

on

FA CHAI Gaming has introduced its Player Achievement System, a long-term progression framework designed for online casino platforms and operator partners to drive sustained engagement, repeat play and deeper player connection.

The system moves beyond short-lived promotions by transforming everyday gameplay into structured objectives, visible progress and meaningful milestones. At the centre of this approach is the FA CHAI Card, a cross-game reward mechanism that allows player achievements to extend beyond a single game and into a broader FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem.

The Player Achievement System is more than an add-on feature—it functions as a behavioural engine designed to improve the KPIs that matter most to operators. By combining achievement-based goals, missions and progression rewards, platforms can cultivate stronger player habits and longer lifecycle value.

Sustainable retention: visible progress and long-term objectives encourage players to return consistently.

More stable engagement: achievement-driven tasks support regular activity across sessions and weeks.

Healthier wagering patterns: cumulative goals motivate play naturally, without excessive bonus dependency.

Deeper player attachment: achievements turn gameplay into a personal journey rather than isolated actions.

Stronger ecosystem loyalty: cross-game rewards reinforce attachment to the broader FA CHAI Gaming portfolio.

Many engagement tools in the market rely on short-term incentives that generate brief activity spikes followed by rapid decline. The Player Achievement System focuses instead on the drivers of repeat behavior: clarity, continuity and purpose.

Progress over promotion: players work towards ongoing achievements rather than reacting to one-time offers.

Lower friction, higher satisfaction: rewards are earned through play, reducing frustration and drop-off.

Built-in freshness: evolving goals and rotating missions help prevent engagement fatigue.

Operational efficiency: structured progression reduces the need for constant campaign rebuilding.

Designed to scale: the framework can evolve alongside platform strategy and player growth.

The Player Achievement System is designed to adapt across FA CHAI Gaming’s supported games, with initial implementation focused on slot-style gameplay. The underlying logic remains intentionally flexible, allowing future expansion into additional game experiences without restructuring the system foundation.

Player actions contribute to visible achievement progress through daily and weekly missions, turning routine gameplay into measurable advancement. As objectives are completed, players unlock new achievement tiers and long-term progression paths, creating a clear sense of growth over time.

A core pillar of the Player Achievement System is the FA CHAI Card. Serving as a cross-game reward mechanism, FA CHAI Cards allow players to convert achievements earned in one game into free game opportunities across other FA CHAI Gaming games.

This design encourages players to explore a wider range of games, experience different mechanics and creative themes and gradually become more deeply integrated into the FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem. Rather than isolating rewards within individual games, FA CHAI Cards connect progress across games, supporting long-term player journeys and cross-game engagement.

By extending progression beyond a single product, FA CHAI Cards help operators increase portfolio exposure while offering players a more cohesive and rewarding platform experience.

Optional competitive elements, such as rankings or achievement-based leaderboards, can be integrated into the system to motivate highly engaged players further. These features act as enhancers rather than requirements, preserving balance while offering additional incentives.
